Bah, the lag will make it up. Besides, its hard to slap flies away while trying to defuse the bomb.

believe it or not, i started playing CS with a P233MMX with 32mb of ram and a 4mb S3 virge. i broke the death rec by many many deaths...

It is using a 500Mhz Athlon of some type.

The really amazing thing here is that they have Wifi running out of the box on a $100 linux machine. this feat is something that cannot be accomplished on my $1,000 linux laptop (without spending a long time compiling crappy drivers.)
